been lurking around on here for awhile! tons of good info and hardly any arguing etc. like alot of online forums.  I grew up fishing lake erie and nw ohio ponds and quarries, which i mainly fish now with the free time i have but then life happened and the rods got put away for quite a few years   now im in my 30's i decided to  get back into it last summer! loving every minute of it but my wallet sure isnt lol. mostly after large mouth and have been reading and watching as much info as i can,which has helped along with just getting out and fishing.  and i have been shocked how much the industry has changed and advanced in the last 10 years! again, not good on the wallet lol. for most part i like to read the posts and might chime in here and there or ask a question every so often.

Welcome to the forum

Welcome to the best forums on the Internet! You are correct that things have changed, and they continue to change -- largely for the better too (I mean options are good right?), except like you said for you wallet.

Welcome aboard!
